The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has held discussions with (a) Transport for London and (b) Hammersmith and Fulham Council on potential funding contributions for repairs for Hammersmith Bridge.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

I wrote to you and members of the Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce, which includes Transport for London and Hammersmith and Fulham Council, on 27 February.

I set out in my letter that I consider Hammersmith Bridge to be a good candidate for investment from the Structures Fund, and my Department intends to consider the viability of future funding for the next stage of works via this route.
